counselling psychologist. writer. the person behind every line.
why the last text
nobody talks about the texts we never send. the apology typed out at midnight and deleted before it could do any damage. the truth read three times, then closed instead of sent. the sorry that has been sitting in a drafts folder for two years now.
i am a counselling psychologist by training. my actual job is sitting with people while they finally say the thing they have been carrying alone. i have also been writing for ten years now, long before i had a therapy room, because some things take longer to say than a fifty minute session allows.
the last text is not the message you sent. it is the one you didn't. the one still sitting in your notes app, or nowhere at all, just replayed in your head on the nights it gets loud.
this brand is that text, finally out. printed instead of deleted. worn instead of hidden.
we didn't become more fragile. we finally stopped pretending.
